UroLift®: A Minimally Invasive
Solution for BPH
Exploring the UroLift® System
Welcome to our dedicated page on the UroLift® system at Dr. Amjad Alwaal’s Urology Clinic. This innovative treatment offers a minimally invasive alternative for managing Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), aiming to improve quality of life with less downtime.
What is the UroLift® System?
The UroLift® system is a revolutionary approach to treating BPH. This procedure involves placing small implants to hold the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, thus relieving urinary obstruction without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.
Benefits of UroLift®:
- Minimally invasive with typically no need for ongoing BPH medication.
- Preserves sexual function.
- Rapid symptom relief and recovery.
- Can be performed in an outpatient setting.
Is UroLift® Right for You?
UroLift® is often recommended for men seeking an alternative to medication or more invasive surgery. Ideal candidates are those with moderate to severe symptoms of BPH. During your consultation, we’ll discuss:
- Your medical history and symptoms.
- Previous treatments for BPH.
- Overall health and lifestyle factors.
The UroLift® Procedure
The UroLift® procedure is typically performed as a day-surgery. Patients can usually return home the same day and resume normal activities shortly thereafter. The process involves:
- Inserting the UroLift® device through the urethra.
- Placing small implants to lift and hold the prostate lobes apart.
- Immediate relief of symptoms following the procedure.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
Post-procedure, patients may experience mild discomfort or urinary symptoms which typically resolve within 2-4 weeks. Follow-up visits are essential to monitor recovery and ensure the success of the treatment.
